September Favorites


I am so excited for fall.  
I'm excited for golden and red leaves dancing in the wind and collecting chestnuts.
I'm excited for big oversized sweaters and scarfs, fluffy blankets and hot tea. 
I'm excited for candles and fairy lights and long nights by the fire place watching TV. 

Make up wise I am looking forward to smoky eyes, dark red lips and just being able to get away with wearing more make up and experimenting with bold colors. 

Bath and Body Works - Leaves Candle
Laura Mercier - Hydrating Primer
Precision Beauty - Angled Blush Brush

  Dolce & Gabbana - The One

Product Empties #2

Over the last couple of months I have been collecting the products I have used up, so you know what's coming.



 I love Lavera. Everything they do. There has not been one product that disappointed me. The shower gel is not drying, the body lotion is nourishing but not sticky and the smell is just divine.

CD is my favourite brand for deodorant, because the don't use aluminium as an ingredient and it works best out of all the products I have tried without aluminium. It is not the best deodorant I have tried, it has probably a 4- 6 hour protection, but it is the safest.


Surprise! Lavera again. Lavera GALORE! Like I said, they can do no wrong in my book. 

The hand creme is very moisturising, yet sinks in very quickly. 

Both the "Foam" Cleanser (which doesn't foam at all and isn't stripping) and the Cleansing Milk are amazing. I repurchased the cleansing milk and use it as a second cleanse in the evening and in the morning. 

And on the right- hand side we have two samples but they still count, right?! After I have used them both up I had to get the full size one.


Lush is one of my favourite brands for moisturisers because they use natural ingredients and my skin does not react badly to them. The Celestial one is great for the winter, since it is so nourishing. The Cosmetic Warrior was a face mask with garlic as an ingredient. Don't ask. Not my favourite.

Balea Shower Gel. A bit to drying for me. Won't repurchase. The same goes for the self tanning spray by Ganier. It was too orangy and it only tanned by legs?!

The Silver Shampoo by Schauma was my saviour in dark times. A couple of months ago I bleached my hair myself, as I do, and my hair turned out yellow. Enough said. This shampoo really made a difference, though.


Now that I am done with Roaccutane, I have also finished my Aquaphor. I love this stuff, even though it caused a little dilemma at the end of my course. 

Rituals body cream for dry skin. Nothing that has impressed me too much. 

Unfortunately I also wasn't too impressed with the Dr. Hauschka Ice Plant Face Cream. It just wasn't rich enough for me, as opposed to it's big brother the Ice Plant body lotion, which is one of my holy grail products.

I also finished some eye drops, which very fine and two make up products. My favourite drugstore concealer, Maybelline Fit Me, and a mascara.

Hopefully next time there will be more make up products because that's always more exciting. Thanks for reading!
